The Bookseller of Kabul
I found that this book was well written on the parts that talked about the Afghan history and culture. I learned a lot about how woman were looked at and how their roles were played being a wife to someone who had a rich family background and education. Being an American we all have different views and traditions that are different than the Afghan culture in which in some parts I did not agree on. For example in their culture the men have many wives. Also I thought that the parents choosing who you love by the role they play in society is a little harsh. I think love finds you and you should choose who you want to love no matter the money they have. I didn't think it was right how they killed that girl just because she was seeing someone who her parents did not approve of. I did enjoy the book but just because we all grow up differently we all have different views on how woman and love.

I agree I like this book also I liked what it had to offer as far as the Afghan history and culture.The parts about the women also intrigued me the most because it is interesting to see the different roles that women play in different cultures.
ReplyDeleteI, too, liked how this book gave a clear picture of the Afghan culture and who played what roles. It made me thankful to live where I do and n ot have to endure the things those women did/do.
